Downhill

That's just something people say
When they're on their last leg
And they need someone to say something to help them cope
Or someone to say something hopeful
"I hope you're okay"
That's just something people say

And if I meant every word that I ever said
You would probably question the life I have led
You'd probably think I'm an evil broken person
And you would be right

'Cause I went downhill at such steep incline
That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
And I laughed about it all night

And I said, "Hey man, isn't it poetic
That the sky is what we leave behind?"
'Cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
And you're the one who taught me to be brave

I've never spent a moment loving anyone but you
And maybe that's just something that people say
But I hope that you know it's the truth

'Cause I went downhill at such steep incline
That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
And I laughed about it all night
Because you were the first one to show me the stars
They don't mean much to me
But I still wonder where you are
And some nights I still try to find you

Relative to constellations
And all your relatives are still on vacation
Or so I heard from a friend
Does it mean anything that you stayed in town?
Probably not

I went downhill at such steep incline
That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
And I laughed about it all night

And I said, "Hey man, isn't it poetic
That the sky is what we leave behind?"
'Cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground

Hey man, isn't it poetic
That the sky is what we leave behind?
'Cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
